a breakthrough to limit the damage caused by going over the fiscal cliff. overnight, the senate passed a measure that will keep taxes the same for about 98% of americans. that vote came at about 2:00 a.m. a couple of hours after we officially went over the cliff. now, this deal has bipartisan support in the senate. 89 senators voted in favor of it. just eight voted against it. under this deal, taxes will remain the same for americans who earn less than $400,000 a year and families that make less than $450,000. it would also extend long-term unemployment benefits. about $24 billion in spending cuts would be delayed for two months. so the white house and congress can have more time to debate them. democrats and republicans agreed to a compromise. they say not acting could have had devastating consequences. >> we don't think taxes should be going up on anyone. but we all knew that if we did nothing, they'd be going up on everyone. >> it is now up to the house to vote on the proposal. president obama released a statement shortly after the senate voted that read

thank you very much, eamon. >>> is today's drop in the markets all about the fiscal cliff? let's bring in tim and dan greenhouse. dan, i guess you can do a victory lap on this. maybe it is a period victory. from day one you have said we are going to go over that cliff. >> this is certainly not a victory lap we wanted to take, but i like to say that our analysis was rooted in what i would call reality. and reality has played out sort of basically as we foresaw it. the problem now, of course, is the conversation turns to not whether or not you're going over the cliff, it appears that we are, but how long are we off of the cliff. that's where the real economic and stock market damage may arise. >> how bad do you think that reality is going to be, dan? >> that's a lot harder. i think absent a market shock to spur policy makers into action, it's hard to see where the urgency comes from. to the extent that the white house and treasury can delay federal withholding tables, the average taxpayer is not going to see anything meaningfully different in their paycheck other than a 2% pa

thanks for watching us. our top story tonight, the last ditch effort to avert the fiscal cliff. president obama met with congressional leaders for several hours at the white house today to try to hammer out a deal before taxes go up on more than 160 million americans. after the meeting, the president presented a new plan to avoid the cliff and said he was modestly optimistic. >> we had a constructive meeting today. senators reid and mcconnell are discussing a potential agreement where we can get a bipartisan bill out of the senate over into the house and done in a timely fashion so that we met the december 31st deadline. given how things have been working in this town we have to actually wait and see until it actually happens. the one thing that the american people should not have to wait and see is some sort of action. so if we don't see an agreement between the two leaders in the senate, i expect a bill to go on the floor. and i have asked senator reid to do. this put a bill on the floor that makes sure that taxes on middle class families don't go up, that unemployment insuran
